Is there a way to tell if I saved a "sent" email message but forgot to actually send it? Would it be listed as a "sent" message but would not have actually been sent?

The following explanation applies to your email account in the Webmail system only. If you have set up your email account in a program local to your computer (like MS Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora), then the following does not apply.
If you option to "save" a message (for instance, if you are interrupted while composing an email and you are not yet ready to send it), then that message will be saved into your "Draft" folder, but will NOT be sent. If you subsequently send that draft, then the message is automatically REMOVED from your draft folder and placed into your "sent" folder. So, yes, if a message is listed as a "sent" message, it has been sent. You can change your options for "sent" messages by using the 'Account Options' menu in the upper-right hand corner of the main screen. Select 'Set my Preferences' and then, under 'Mail Sending Options,' answer YES to the option to 'Save copy of outgoing mail in Sent folder.' That way, all outgoing message will always be saved in your sent folder, and you will not have to remember to check the box on the 'compose' screen every time you send an email. You might also want to select 'Confirm sent messages' so that you will immediately know whether a message has been successfully sent. Please note, that there is no option to automatically save drafts. You must SELECT that option at the bottom of the 'compose' screen if you want to save a draft to work on at a later time. If you have neither saved a message into your draft folder nor sent the message, and you LOG OFF from Web mail, the message will NOT be saved anywhere.
